Hi, I snagged the power button cables whilst removing the speaker. The cables have pulled completely out of the power button. Is it possible to remove the power button and solder the cables back on, if so how do I remove it? Otherwise, what are my options? Thanks is advance.
Ouch! The button housing is glued into the back case. You’ll need to take the HDD, power supply & left speaker so you can gain access to the button from the back side. You’ll need to use a heat gun to soften the glue which holds the housing hopefully you can get to the needed points to splice a new set of wires. FYI - Apple does not sell this part alone.
I have this problem too. Literally broke the cable when pulling the speaker out. Is there any where I can get a replacement? I connected the wires back together but I cannot get the adjustment on the hex to get it to act like a button
Hey Guys! I just experienced the same problem and was able to remove the power button using a heat gun. I replaced the button but now I need some new adhesive to put it back together. Any suggestions on what to do?
